Trip Itinerary

Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, you will be greeted by our representative at the Tribhuvan International Airport. After a warm welcome, you will be transferred to your hotel where you can rest and relax after your journey. Depending on your arrival time, you might have some free time to explore the vibrant streets of Kathmandu or simply unwind and prepare for the exciting journey ahead. In the evening, you will have a briefing about the trek where you'll meet your guide and fellow trekkers.

Overnight stay at the hotel in Kathmandu.

Early in the morning, you will have breakfast at the hotel before heading to the domestic terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport for a scenic flight to Lukla. The flight itself is an exhilarating experience as you soar over the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas. Upon landing in Lukla, the gateway to the Everest region, you will meet the rest of the trekking crew and begin your trek. The trail initially descends towards the Dudh Koshi River, passing through small villages and lush forests filled with rhododendron and pine trees. After around 3-4 hours of trekking, you will reach Phakding where you will spend the night.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Phakding.

After a hearty breakfast in Phakding, you will continue your trek towards Namche Bazaar, the vibrant heart of the Khumbu region. The trail follows the Dudh Koshi River and crosses several suspension bridges adorned with prayer flags. As you ascend higher, you will be treated to stunning views of Mt. Thamserku (6608m) and Mt. Everest (8848m) in the distance. Upon reaching Namche Bazaar, you will be greeted by the bustling streets filled with colorful prayer flags, shops, and teahouses. This vibrant Sherpa town offers stunning views of Kongde Ri (6187m) and other surrounding peaks.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Namche Bazaar.

Today is set aside for acclimatization to the high altitude. Acclimatization is crucial to ensure your body adjusts properly to the decreasing oxygen levels as you ascend higher. You will spend the day exploring Namche Bazaar and its surroundings. You can visit the Sherpa Cultural Museum, which provides insights into the Sherpa culture and history of mountaineering in the region. Alternatively, you can hike to the nearby Everest View Hotel for panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and other surrounding peaks. After a day of exploration, you will return to Namche Bazaar for another overnight stay.

After breakfast in Namche Bazaar, you will resume your trek towards Tengboche, a picturesque village famous for its monastery and stunning views of Mt. Everest and Ama Dablam. The trail ascends gradually, offering spectacular views of the Himalayan peaks along the way. You will pass through serene forests of rhododendron and pine, with occasional sightings of Himalayan wildlife such as musk deer and Himalayan thar. Upon reaching Tengboche, you will visit the ancient Tengboche Monastery, one of the most significant monasteries in the Khumbu region. You can also soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding peaks before settling in for the night at a tea house in Tengboche.

Today, you will have the option to trek either to Pheriche or Dingboche, depending on the group's preference and acclimatization. Both routes offer stunning views and unique experiences. If you choose to trek to Pheriche, the trail descends through lush forests before ascending gradually towards the picturesque village of Pheriche. Along the way, you will be surrounded by magnificent views of the Himalayan peaks, including Mt. Ama Dablam and Mt. Lhotse. Alternatively, if you opt for Dingboche, the trail follows a similar path, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. Dingboche is a beautiful village nestled beneath towering peaks, and the views from here are truly mesmerizing.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Pheriche or Dingboche.

Today, you will trek from Pheriche or Dingboche to Lobuche, a challenging yet rewarding day of the trek. The trail ascends steadily, offering panoramic views of the Khumbu Valley and surrounding peaks. As you ascend higher, you will notice the landscape becoming more rugged and barren, with scattered vegetation. Along the way, you will pass through memorials dedicated to climbers who lost their lives on Everest expeditions. The trail continues towards Lobuche, a small settlement nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Himalayas. Upon reaching Lobuche, you will be greeted by breathtaking views of Nuptse (7861m) and other surrounding peaks.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Lobuche.

Today is the highlight of the trek as you make your way to Everest Base Camp, the starting point for climbers attempting to summit the world's highest peak. The trail from Lobuche to Gorak Shep is rugged and rocky, with minimal vegetation. Upon reaching Gorak Shep, you will have a short break before continuing towards Everest Base Camp. The final stretch of the trek is challenging but incredibly rewarding as you finally reach the iconic Everest Base Camp. Here, you will be surrounded by towering Himalayan peaks, including Mt. Everest itself. Spend some time soaking in the awe-inspiring views and capturing memories before retracing your steps back to Gorak Shep for an overnight stay at a tea house.

Today, you will embark on an early morning hike to Kala Patthar, one of the best vantage points in the Everest region. The hike to Kala Patthar offers stunning panoramic views of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other surrounding peaks bathed in the golden hues of the sunrise. After enjoying the mesmerizing sunrise views, you will descend back to Gorak Shep for breakfast before retracing your steps back to Pheriche. The descent allows you to appreciate the landscape from a different perspective as you make your way back to the lower elevations.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Pheriche.

After breakfast in Pheriche, you will begin your trek back towards Namche Bazaar, retracing the familiar trails through picturesque villages and lush forests. The descent offers ample opportunities to appreciate the stunning Himalayan landscapes and reflect on the incredible journey you've undertaken. As you descend, you may encounter fellow trekkers and locals, sharing stories and experiences along the way. Upon reaching Namche Bazaar, you can explore the vibrant streets once again and perhaps indulge in some souvenir shopping.

Overnight stay at a tea house in Namche Bazaar.

Today marks the final leg of your trek as you make your way back to Lukla, where it all began. The trail descends steeply, offering one last glimpse of the majestic Himalayan peaks before gradually leveling out as you approach Lukla.

Superb experience, best travel agency in Kathmandu

We highly recommend the agency ACE Holiday Treks. Not only do they arrange great tours, but Narayan the owner of the company is one of the best guides and tour providers we have ever met on our travels. His approach to every traveller is superb, he will personally make sure that everything is going according to a plan and if not he will move mountains for you to help you. He certainly did that for us on multiple occasions. We would probably not be able to start our Everest Base camp trek without his help. And the best thing about Narayan is that we did not even book a tour through his company, and he still helped us a lot with our independent travelling. He simply treats everyone as a VIP customer, which in today's world is something truly special.

Best experience of my life !

I visited Nepal jn November 2019 to trek Everest Base camp. I am a solo traveler so I spent months researching for a great trekking company. After contacting multiple companies, Ace holiday treks was by far the most friendly and professional company I received a response from. I began planning my trip with Narayan months before arriving and he was always happy to answer any questions I had prior to arriving. Although I landed in Kathmandu a week before my trek and had alternative accommodation, he still ensured that he would organize transportation to my hotel so I would be safe and comfortable. He made a effort to meet me days before my trek and took me for a lovely dinner to welcome me to Nepal. Romesh was my guide for the duration of the trek. I got sick twice unfortunately and he always made sure I was ok and never encouraged me to push my body. He was happy to extend my trek by 4 days just to ensure I made it to base camp healthy and happy. We played cards every evening and it is very obvious that our guide is well respected and loved in the mountains. Narayan was always kind and messaged or phoned everyday to make sure everything was ok on the mountains.The mountains are the most beautiful place in the world and Ace holiday trek definitely made my trip the most unforgettable experience I have ever had. I am so grateful to Narayan, Romesh and our young porterwho carried our bags. I wish I had more time in Nepal to book another trip with Ace but I am looking forward to another trip next year. The only trekking company to use is Ace! You wont be disappointed! :) thank you Ace trekking team!

Everest BC

We had a wonderful trip to the Everest BC by way way of the Chola Pass. It wasn't easy but a really worthwhile experience. Ace Holidays were there all the time to help with our vacation. They took care of absolutely everything even small changes in our itinerary. Great company we would use them again.

Everest BC trek + Kathmandu, Chitwan

We were group of 14 people from Slovakia that went to E.C.B. trek and it was amazing. Everything was prepared perfectly, if any problem showed up it was solved immidiately. Our guide Narayan was very helpful, cheerful and caring. Our only task was to enjoy the trek and Narayan took care of everything else. His experience and knowledge about history and religions are remarkable. It was lifetime experience for all of us. I totally recommend ACE Holiday Treks and I would definately go again with them (hope I will).

Everest Base Camp / Pokhara 4 day hike

Booked my Nepal trip direct with Ace Holiday Treks from Australia Narayan through the whole booking process was quick to respond to any questions I had and was able to put a 4 week package together for me including personnel guides so I had no problems during my trip. From the time of my arrival to the time of my departure Narayan was in regular contact ensuring that my adventure was going smoothly and WOW my adventure was so much better than I anticipated. My Everest Base camp hike was exceptionally good and the Guide Sobit and the 2 Porters were excellent and could not have done any more than they did I was a solo traveller and Narayans team of personnel made me feel very welcome and it was a great experience I would recommend Ace Holiday Treks to anyone and they made the entire process of booking the holiday and delivered on perfect customer service from arrival to Kathmandu to my departure a month later. Awesome experience

Narayan went above and beyond

Trip made: Everest Base Camp, Nepal Duration: 18 to 30 November I came across this very same page lauding praises and compliments for Narayan and his team. All of the reviews in general were very positive and flattering. I thought, I must contact this person to find out more. I contacted Narayan, thinking that I would merely get a quotation and find out more about the trip my husband and I wish to make, the Everest Base Camp trek. Narayan was enthusiastic and helpful, answering all of our queries patiently. When I enquired about extending our trek to include Gokyo Lake, Narayan was honest with us. He did not push us to extend the trip (which he could profit from) but instead factually told us the cost and the extra days needed. He was also quick to contact us to discuss over the phone (quicker than messaging) and was ever respectful and courteous in his messages, always checking in with a simple "How are you?" and communicating easily about his guiding experience and his experience organising treks. Even before we met, we already relied on him to guide us through what will later be the adventure of a lifetime. Narayan arranged our trek very smoothly, from the administrative affairs (collecting passport details, arranging domestic flight) to actually picking us up, thoughtfully sending a photo of himself for easy identification upon our arrival and warmly greeted us with welcome flowers. When we arrived at Pilgrim Hotel in the night, Narayan sat us down and briefed us again about our trek. He also warned us about fake helicopter rescue scams and assured us that Ace Holiday Treks conducts its business professionally. We trekked with Shusil (our trekking guide) and Gauraf (our porter) who were both steadfast and helpful throughout our adventure. We had an amazing time. During our trek, I suffered from AMS due to the high altitude. As such, my husband and I had to descend for my recovery. During this difficult period, Narayan while not physically with us, guided us and helped us over the phone, checking in with my physical status and coaching us on navigating the situation that we are in. When we arrived back in Kathmandu, Narayan met us and was with us throughout. He could have left us to manage on our own and figure our way out but he came down even when his presence was not needed. His presence was comforting and assuring and we felt that we were in good hands with Narayan. As a result of our early descent, we had a few extra days in Kathmandu. My husband and I mostly took it easy as I was still recovering. Narayan was certainly not obliged to fill up our days for us as this was not part of the arrangement. However, his good-natured self invited us for a warm family dinner at his home and he even arranged for his employees to bring us out to check out the local market. During this period, Narayan was easily contactable and was a comforting presence to us. Would I go to Nepal again for another trekking adventure? Likely yes, to another region. Would I go with Narayan again? A resounding 100% YES! Narayan is everything you would want in a tour agent: professional, approachable, honest and most importantly, has a kind heart and looks after YOUR interests. He ensures that you are always comfortable and will advise according to your needs. We thought that signing up with Narayan was a business transaction like any other holiday arrangement e.g. book a hotel, book a guide, book a flight. We pay the money and we get a guided trek in return. But what we did not count on was forging a relationship with Narayan. He is an incredibly thoughtful, respectful and amazingly, despite his achievements as a self-made man, he was extremely down to earth and humble. Truly, we are very glad that we went on our amazing adventure with Narayan as our tour agent. We would not have done it any other way. Whatever happened on our trek was a blessing in disguise as we met a kind soul in Narayan. We look forward to our next trekking trip with Ace Holiday Treks! We highly recommend you to pick up your phone and drop Narayan a text! Find out more about the trip that you want to make and get to know Narayan yourself.

We could not be happier

We had the best time in Nepal thanks to Narayan and his Ace Holidays Trek. Even though we always travel independently and arrange all flights and accommodation by ourselves, in Nepal it was different. We just could not buy flights online, so we started to look for a local agency. Our friend recommended us Narayan and his Ace Holidays Trek agency and we could not be more thankful. Narayan personally helped us with all the arrangements, he assisted us with flight rebookings and even though he did not have to, he stayed in touch with us during the whole trek in case we need his help or guidance. What we really appreciate was his personal involvement, he puts clients and travellers needs as his priority and he feels personally responsible for you to have a great time while visiting Nepal. Even though we did the Everest trek base camp independently, we are planning to come back and do the Upper Mustang trek, but this time with Ace Holidays Trek. I would not choose any other agency, because there are a lot of agencies involved in travellers scams. I would recommend Ace Holidays Trek agency to anyone who wishes to have a great time in Nepal with great services and a personal approach. It was our privilege to meet someone as Narayan.

The Trip/Trek Of A Lifetime

I recently took my family over on referral of friends and we got the presidential treatment. We got off the plane and was immediately met by Narayan Bhatta who had arranged every minute of our trip save for our personal time. Escort to the hotel in a nice car, dinner and to our hotel which seemed to be above average. We took a trek to Everest Base Camp with all things arranged. We loved the Everest Base Camp Trail so much we extended a day. We were in constant contact to headquarters back in Thamel so constant monitoring was appreciated. We have photos and memories of a life time. Thank you Narayan and Ace Holiday Treks!
